Summary

This trial compares post-op pain after nose surgery when using a long-acting anesthetic vs other anesthetics.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are having nose surgery (rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty) and can give written consent. It's not for pregnant women, prisoners, those under 48 kg, with liver issues or high creatinine levels, morbid obesity, cognitive impairments, allergies to local anesthetics/pain meds used in the study, chronic pain medication users before surgery, or those with pre-existing painful conditions.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if liposomal bupivacaine provides better post-surgery pain relief after a nose job compared to standard local anesthesia (0.25% bupivacaine with epinephrine) or placebo (saline solution). Participants will receive one of these treatments randomly.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site like swelling and tenderness. There may also be risks associated with numbness due to nerve blockage from the anesthetic agents.
